How to select a specific value from a table












1















I'm trying to make an code for each file I have. My problem is that I cannot use:



for(int i =0 .... i++)


I do not want to check every line in the table, I want to check a specific file, and I need the code for that specific file.



#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{

static struct CHECKFILE
{
const char *s_File;
const char *s_SpecialCode;
} s_check_code = {
"file_1" , "code_1"
"file_2" , "code_2"
"file_3" , "code_3"
"file_4" , "code_4"
"file_5" , "code_5"
};


std::string str;
str.append(s_check_code[file_1].s_SpecialCode);

std::cout << str << 'n';

return 0;
}

  • Maybe, but i know if i do something like this prntscr.com/lk4b6x will work but i wander if is posibile to do it without checking every line.

  • Ofcourse you can do that. With "file_1" instead of file_1 and you need the right associative container. You can checkout std::map or std::unordered_map . Which one is right might depend on you application.

  • Yep, i didn't know about <map>. Thank you.

  • Or use s_check_code[0]. C++ arrays are zero indexed. If you want mapping from string to content use std::(unordered_)map.

Use a std::map of std::string to do this.



#include <iostream>
#include <map>

int main ()
{

std::map<std::string, std::string> myMap = {
{"file_1" , "code_1"},
{"file_2" , "code_2"},
{"file_3" , "code_3"},
{"file_4" , "code_4"},
{"file_5" , "code_5"}
};

std::string str;
str.append(myMap["file_1"]);

std::cout << str << 'n';

return 0;
}
